Also can someone who knows BJJ better tell me if Frantz had a chance to escape when McGregor said he did. It did seem like he decided to try and attack Hall on the ground rather than extricate himself at the start of the scrambley bits. Or am I totally wrong?

McGregor's knowledge of the position is probably not a tenth of Ryan's. The best publically available instructional material available on the 50/50 guard is a 4 hour DVD set released by Ryan Hall himself, and it was six years ago, which means he's probably made a lot of tweaks and improvements since then.

edit: so, no

Hanging on the back when someone's tripoded like that is very, very tiring. It's one of the reasons it works as defense even if the guy on the bottom doesn't appear to be doing much for long periods of time.

How would you deal with that, if you were the backpack?

Cheers. "Human Backpack" is my goal at the moment.

Maybe they know that Hall has a fanbase outside the UFC already and are hoping he'll bring in some more PPV money.
